A request to keep secret the policies used for the recount of Maricopa County s ballots has prompted pushback from news organizations ahead of a hearing scheduled for Tuesday.
A Maricopa County Superior Court judge ordered Friday that Cyber Ninjas, the Florida-based firm hired by the Arizona Senate to conduct the recount, turn over more information about its work this week as part of a lawsuit filed by the state Democratic Party and Maricopa County Supervisor Steve Gallardo. The lawsuit said the recount violates various state election laws and does not include adequate procedures to ensure the safety of ballots or voter privacy.
New Maricopa County Judge Assigned to Oversee 2020 Election Audit Case
A new judge has been assigned to oversee a legal challenge to a Senate-led audit of votes in Arizona’s largest county for the 2020 presidential election, the Superior Court of Arizona in Maricopa County announced Monday.

Martin, who was appointed to the bench in 2007 by Democratic Gov. Janet Napolitano, is currently assigned to the civil division after having previously been assigned to the family, criminal, and juvenile court departments.
